That's disappointing :( Just let Senegal or Mali or some other country sort of south of the Saraha but north of South Africa host it and you won't have a high enough number for the atmosphere (ok, not a significantly higher score for information and overall organization, but still, I prefer atmosphere :p )

After claiming not ready for 2026 Commonwealth Games last year, suddenly the State of Selangor offers to be the main host if Malaysia proceed to bid.

Still: Morocco stepped in as an alternative for several other countries. Even after Morocco did not participate in recent African Games. Better something than nothing? Many other multi sport events haven't been held in recent years: West Asian Games, Arab Games, East Asian Games etc.

 

What African countries could stage these Games in the near future?

South Africa (they sent a relative small group of athletes because of financial issues)

Algeria (facilities are being built for the MedGames in Oran)

Nigeria

Ghana (really?)

Egypt

Tunesia

Senegal (build a huge basketball arena) & Mali (are you serious?)

Equatorial Guinea (former selected host, but no history in sports), must have been a joke....

Congo (to soon again)

Kenya

 

Some possibilities, but I think these Games are in serious doubt....like European Games, Universiad and (too) many other Games.

Would make perfect sense for them to host in 2023. @bestmen start campaigning :p. In all seriousness, I think :ALG could pull it off.

I also wouldn’t count out a country like :NAM, :BOT, or :ZIM

2023 has already been awarded to Ghana and they seem pretty serious about it

Can't really blame the Moroccans though, 30 plus years without knowing or giving a damn to it.

I can and I did. They rank below the Lao People’s Republic, Tahiti, and Cape Verde In my book (in terms of good multi-sports games hosts). That statement is also a perfect summation about the world letting Morocco get away with its completely illegal and immoral occupation and destruction of the Sahrawi Republic.

All fun and well, but my point about Senegal and Mali (among others) was entirely based on atmosphere, not on feasability :p I sure haven't seen every event held there, but every time I did (from world youth championships in athletics in Kenya to African U18 basketball in Mali) the stands were totally filled with jumping and dancing and singing people...while in other, possibly richer countries, the atmosphere in events that I've seen was more...boring.
